Best of the rest

Roma came through a turbulent match at Feyenoord that was suspended for around 15 minutes in the second-half due to objects being thrown on to the pitch to secure a 2-1 win in Rotterdam. Ivory Coast international Gervinho, who appeared to take exception to something shouted from the crowd just before play was suspended, scored the winner on 60 minutes to secure a 3-2 aggregate victory.

'Iceberg! Dead ahead!'

Some great quotes on the unfortunate scenario at Parma from former player Alessandro Melli this evening.

Serie A's bottom club has run out of money and was forced to call off the 22 February home game with Udinese as it could not pay for stewards.

"There were people who believed they were travelling first class and then other people who were doing all the hard, dirty work without being paid.

"I've always thought that just like the famous tragedy and in the movie, sooner or later an iceberg would come and hit us."

Liverpool out of Europa League

Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers, speaking to ITV4: "I thought the four penalty takers were outstanding. It's unfortunate for Dejan Lovren. He was brave enough to take it. It's a lottery really. We've got to get over it and dust ourselves down for the weekend."

Matteo Darmian's 67th minute goal was enough to give Torino a 3-2 win at Athletic Bilbao and book a place in Friday's last-16 draw with a 5-4 aggregate win. The hosts had twice pegged back the Italians as Andoni Iraola and Oscar de Marcos cancelled out goals from Fabio Quagliarella and Maxi Lopez.

Meanwhile, a 0-0 draw for German side Wolfsburg at Sporting Lisbon was enough to send them through with a 2-0 aggregate win.

Everton 3-1 Young Boys (Agg: 7-2)

Everton manager Roberto Martinez on ITV1: "We've seen what a good team Young Boys are. They had a real attacking attitude and we saw a lot of chances. We wanted it to be open and took our chances well.

"To score seven goals in two games is a great achievement

"Romelu Lukaku has been creating a huge amount of chances, his goal scoring quality is fantastic and to score five goals is fantastic. His work rate was also very pleasing.

"It is a shame there is no more British representation but we're looking forward to the draw. We've been supported by huge numbers around Europe."

"It is true that it was key, this action {Soldado's miss]. You need some luck to score sometimes if you are to win the games.

"We did not score and, if we want to analyse the game, it is easy: Fiorentina scored, we didn't score and in football you don't score it is difficult to win games.

It's still all to play for at San Mames. Andoni Iraola got a goal back for hosts Athletic Bilbao before Maxi Lopez restored Torino's lead to make it 2-1 on the night and 4-3 on aggregate to the Italians.

Meanwhile, Adem Ljajic has grabbed a vital away goal for Roma at Feyenoord to make it 1-0 in Rotterdam. The Italians lead 2-1 on aggregate and will be eager to avoid extra-time with a top of the table Serie A clash with Juventus on Monday.

Mickey Somiah: The only thing that hurt is the player who missed. Wouldn't have minded Sterling missing but for Lovren to miss is painful.

Your thoughts on Tottenham's Euro exit

Colin: Roll up roll up clearance sale at Spurs - Adebayor and Paulinho to go. Soldado going for a rock bottom price - couldn't hit a barn door! Seriously though we need to get rid of them and get some goal scorers to complement Harry K and Christian E.

Jimboi THFC, Essex: Disappointing from thfc tonight it has to be said, many quality players which should still put in a shift even with rotation. That being said many young and promising players in the squad and hopefully they can get a taste what it is to win some silverware this Sunday to make them more hungry for the coming seasons.

Ann, London: He had tough decisions to make, but I blame Poch for this. He should've put out our strongest team last week and sacrificed the West Ham game, would've given him more options this week. Gutted, I'd love to win Europa one day but we've never even come close.

Simon Poyner in Plymouth: English league is definitely weakening. It was only a few years ago the likes of Middlesbrough and then Fulham (2 mid table premier league sides at the time) went far in the competition. Now even our top 6 clubs struggle to get to the latter stages.

Everton manager Roberto Martinez on ITV1: "It's important we are ready for a very interesting game. Young Boys will be a tough test.

"It's not a risk playing Steven Naismith and Romelu Lukaku, even though they are one booking away from a suspension, as we are too far away from the quarter-finals. You can't think about the bookings as we just want to get through."

"Every game for us is very important and we're trying to build something. Everyone in the squad is ready for me."

In the other 20:05 GMT kick-offs, Athletic Bilbao's second leg with Torino is finely balanced at 2-2 but Carlos Gurpegui's late equaliser in Italy means the Spanish side - beaten finalists in 2012 - have two away goals to fall back on at San Mames.

Italian title-hopefuls Roma face Serie A leaders Juventus on Monday but first they have a last-32 clash with Dutch side Feyenoord to contend with and could only manage a 1-1 draw at the Stadio Olimpico after former Sheffield United forward Colin Kazim-Richards cancelled out Gervinho's opener.

Fellow Italians Napoli should have no trouble dispatching Turkish side Trabzonspor as they take a 4-0 lead into the home leg, while German side Wolfsburg travel with a 2-0 lead to Sporting Lisbon, thanks to a brace from in-form striker Bas Dost at the Volkswagen Arena.

"There is still time for Spurs. There will be chances. Fiorentina will definitely tire and fatigue at the back end of the game and we will see those convincing fitness levels that Spurs have developed over the course of this season."

CLOSE!

Besiktas 0-0 Liverpool (Agg: 0-1)

What a strike! I'd make another Narnia gag if I could, as substitute Tolgay Arslan hits a mind-bender from 30 yards. Wonderful, swerving hit, a real peach but it ends up four inches wide of a diving Simon Mignolet's post. Slaven Bilic was off and away...

A wall of noise as Liverpool keep the ball for an extended period. They look pretty secure still. As secure as a side whose back three contain Kolo Toure and Dejan Lovren can, to be honest.

Twenty-five minutes to go.

Great chance! Fiorentina should really put a nail in Spurs' Europa League coffin as Mohamed Salah shows why Jose Mourinho let him leave Chelsea. Salah has great pace to run onto Joaquin's throughball, he gets away from the Spurs defence but his shot is really tame and Hugo Lloris saves.

Dental Mental: Spurs only have themselves to blame for not scoring and then for conceding. We are beating ourselves. Pathetic.

Joseph Crilley: If Spurs could pass the ball three yards we'd be doing alright.

Ben Goodwin: I've never seen a team focusing more on getting a player sent off than Besiktas on Balotelli tonight.

"Mario Gomez at his best! Spurs had controlled possession... but that was like the threat at the start of the game with counter-attacking tactics from Fiorentina.

"Spurs need to regroup. It looks like Fiorentina are already going to make a second change. That is how their coaches deal with game management.

"Pochettino has given the word for some of his subs to warm up. I can see Harry Kane."

Fiorentina 1-0 Tottenham (Agg: 2-1) - Mario Gomez (54 mins)

Mario Gomez reminds me that he is not quite a washed-up striker as he pulls away from Federico Fazio to burst onto a through ball and stroke the ball between Hugo Lloris' legs. Composed finish, classy even. Fazio was at fault originally, giving the ball away on halfway.

Spurs now definitely going out unless they score - though a goal for the men from White Hart Lane would force extra-time. Three days before the Cup final...

Fiorentina do almost get a second goal in the tie as a mazy run down the right ends with Milan Badelj scuffing a shot at Hugo Lloris. He was only 15 yards out and central, a proper connection would have caused Spurs all sorts of grief.

Actor JK Simmons was 1/66 to win an Oscar last Sunday. I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw that. I'd now give you the same price on Mario Balotelli being sent off in this game. He's smoldering, and Besiktas are winding him up to boot.

Dutch champions Ajax will be resting easy at the break in Poland as a brace from Arkadiusz Milik and a goal from Nick Viergever has given them a 3-0 advantage on the night against Legia Warsaw, 4-0 on aggregate.

Meanwhile, defending champions Sevilla have not got it so easy at Borussia Monchengladbach as the Germans have fought back to make it 2-2 at Borussia Park. Thorgan Hazard (brother of Chelsea's Eden) grabbed the equaliser but the Spanish visitors lead 3-2 on aggregate.

Luciano Vietto has levelled things up for fellow Spaniards Villarreal, semi-finalists in 2011, against FC Red Bull in Salzburg. It's 3-2 on aggregate to the visitors.

Fiorentina almost make Spurs pay for their shoddy finishing with a chance at the other end. Mario Gomez gets out the lob wedge to dink one over the top for the pace of Chelsea loanee Mohamed Salah. He gets away but shoots wide. Tricky angle but a very presentable chance.

Spurs have had a meltdown! They have to score! You do not get a better chance to score an away goal than this!

Fiorentina have a corner which is cleared and Erik Lamela springs the last line of defence with a clever clip over the top. Roberto Soldado and Nacer Chadli are clean through, totally clean through, they've got an entire half between them! It's like a clip from an Ian Rush best of.

It's a case of Soldado 'having too much time' as he runs in on goal. He could walk it in, but he tries to draw the keeper and then square for Chadli - but he completely fluffs his lines and the keeper collects. Awful.

Now then, is that a penalty for Spurs?! Christian Eriksen breaks in to the box and he goes down under a challenge from ex-Manchester City defender Stefan Savic. Savic was on the wrong side and he made no contact wit the ball - a risky one.
